Default Finally got my LS1!

It is the 1998 Camaro Z28 I described in some of the other posts I made a while ago before I actually got it. It has the LS1, which I am sure you already know what that is, it has a Red exterior, this is all according to the window sticker, which was in the glovebox, Arctic White leather seats, Monsoon premium sound system-includes a cassette tape player with dolby noise reduction and music search, and a 12-disc CD changer in the trunk, the performance axle (that's the 3.43 isn't it? if someone knows for sure please tell me), 245/50/16 Mastercraft Avengers on all four corners with the stock wheels, the active anti-theft alarm, keyless, power driver seat, t-tops, electronic speed control (aka cruise control), etc, etc. Also I installed a K&N Air filter and it has close to 330 horsepower, gets 18-19 to the gallon in the city and 27-28 on the highway, and more importantly, hits 120 in under 10 seconds. It does need a name though, sonce my other Camaro is named Steph, I feel he needs a name, if anyone has any suggestions for a name for a red Z28 that I feel is a male, feel free to post or send them to me. Thanks-Jon
Here's an album of pictures of both Camaros:

congrats on the new ls1. just to clear things up a bit though: performance rear end on an auto car is 3.23 gears, and if your only mod is a k&n filter you're only pushing about 310-315hp at most (305 stock). have fun with the car man, mod away!

I don't know yet I haven't had time to take it to the new local strip, since 6 days after I got it my sister hit the driver side A-pillar with a softball.
But it hits 120 real easy, probably in around 9 seconds.
Thank you all for your welcomes, and thank you for letting me know the rear axle gears, appreciate it. Also, I like the name Stan, anyone else have thoughts on Stan?
